The Siberian tiger, also known as the Manchurian or Amur, is the largest tiger and cat. It is also known as the "Tiger of the Snow". Its fur is very thick, but in the summer its fur becomes shorter. The orange colour of its fur is lighter than the orange colour of other tigers. The stripes are brown rather than black and are much wider. It really just depends on the type of weather to determine the length of the fur. It has a white neck and stomach. To distinguish the difference between the Siberian and the other tigers is the lighter and longer fur and the shorter, broader muzzle.

       The Siberian tiger lives in the Northeast part of Asia, primarily the coniferous, scrub oak, and birch woodlands of eastern Russia. There are few tigers found in the northeast China and Northern Korea. It is mainly known to live in Siberia.

       It is estimated that only about 360-406 tigers exsit in the wilid. And about 490 in captivity, this tiger is managed in conservastion programs
